Looking for a self hosted YouTube front end with automatic downloader. So you would subscribe to a channel for example and it would automatically download all the videos and new uploads.

Jellyfin might be able to handle the front end part but not sure about automatic downloads and proper file naming and metadata

    Moved from Tube Archivist to Pinchflat. TA worked but overkill for what I needed. Just wanted to download with metadata that worked with emby. Pinchflat just works. Running two instances. One for the wife and I and one for the kids. Both running great on unRAID.

      I will definetly look into this. I’ve been using tube archivist for a while now, but it eats so much RAM (especially the Elastic search dependency IIRC)!

      Does PF have a browser extension? TA has it, which makes it simple to download videos on demand.
